Ingredients

  • 2 avocados (peeled and diced)
  • 1/4 lemon (juiced)
  • 1 handful baby spinach leaves
  • 50g frozen broad beans (defrosted)
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 lime, juiced
  • 1 pinch crushed dried chillies
  • 1 tbsp coriander (chopped)
  • 4 mint leaves (chopped)
  • Sea salt

Method

  1. Place the flesh from 1 avocado in a blender with lemon juice, spinach and broad beans, then blitz into a coarse paste.
  2. Dice the second avocado into chunks and place in a bowl with the cucumber, lime juice, chilli, coriander, mint and salt.

Fun fact

Avocado is rich in vitamin E, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress, and contains skin-supporting B vitamins — making this dip a great choice for a complexion-friendly snack.
